title: Disease of the year: juvenile idiopathic arthritis--differential diagnosis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this review is to comprehensively explain the differential diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Web-based literature review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Main diagnostic decisions are made through a thorough anterior segment exam and a comprehensive exploration of past medical and family history.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  High clinical suspicion of other uveitic entities occurring in children is necessary and must be excluded by the practitioner before immediate diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis is made.
